Rapid Healing + 8 Fury = 4 Fury per turn. For every Fury you leach by cutting, you spend
1 to heal on his activation. Of course the biggest weakness of such a setup is the
obvious lack of transfers for a beatstick, but at least it's not a total loss.

I might just be amused enough to try it some day.

I've seem people do that when all the beasts are dead, but taking a hordes lists without any beasts seems really dumb.

It would be interesting, but he would draw fire like crazy.

You're giving up all spell casting and your primary method of keeping him alive.

Perhaps taking this thinking with him at 1000pts would work. Treat him like a super solo who can fall back on being a Warlock if your plans go awry.

I agree with Loki, but still, he's easy to kill when over-ran by a large unit.

I've been toying with the idea of Infantry-horde. Just like Infantry-machine. Morvanha could possibly work in this case too. She can transfer damage to a warrior model, and to a model she already damaged. This makes her great for the Wolves of Orboros, and if she gets pinned down by a enemy warbeast.

Her Harvest spell gives her 1 fury every time an enemy model is destroyed in her control area, and it's a upkeep.

She also has that one spell that allows her to return models to a unit that were destroyed since your last turn.. She can run out of fury by doing this, but when you pop 4 more Wolves(or whatever from a unit) back up, she quickly gets the fury back from destroyed models..

Also thought about using her with the new War Wolf. It's really good with the Wolves and is a very cheap solo with Kneel, and Scent.

Let me know if you're interested in this idea. Would love to start a topic on it and see if we could get a decent list going.

Most people I have seen play him have more success with him in human form even on assasination runs? Morvhana and Aptimus Zaal come the closest to not needing beasts but it's still very risky.
